A fantastic emulsifier for all skin care products leaving a luxurious silky and powdery feel on the skin.
Oat Oil penetrates very well into the skin with no sticky after feel at all - it has a soft, velvety feel to it. Promotes good moisture retention in the skin by slowing down Trans epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). Very nourishing and protective.
An excellent oil that is stable and very conditioning, especially for the hands and feet. Very lubricating, softening and nourishing to the skin and has protective qualities. Blend Olive Oil with Calendula and Comfrey Oils to improve chapped skin or skin that has become drier due to the weather and exposure to longer periods of central heating.
Comfrey has a synergy with all forms of Calendula and works extremely well with Olive Oil so the Glycerol Extract is a perfect addition to this nourishing winter cream.
Calendula CO2 Extract is very regenerative to the skin. As an effective antioxidant, it helps to tackle free radical damage and is a perfect companion to Comfrey in any product.
Not only is Eco Marine Algae Extract a great anti aging ingredient it is also anti inflammatory and protective. It plays an important role in the skin’s barrier function due to its repairing properties and helps to keep the skin hydrated. It strengthens skin and offers some protection from UVB rays so makes a great addition to this cream.
A fabulous combination for their regenerative properties, perfect for skin that has become dehydrated due to the winter.
An essential ingredient if you want your wonderfully nourishing winter cream to be safe to use for more than a few days.

Apologies for my earlier question as I realised that the BTMS25 stands in as the Emulsifier.
Can AHA Fruits Acid be used in this combination with Comfrey Glycerol Extract and Calendula CO2 Extract.

Thank you for your enquiry.
Please see the below response from our Research and Development Team;
“Simple answer is you don’t.
Oil and water molecules will appear to combine when stirred together but will separate out unless an emulsifier is used.
Emulsifier molecules have a hydrophilic end (water attracting) and a hydrophobic end (water repelling). The hydrophilic end binds water molecules to it and the hydrophobic end binds oil molecules to it so when oil, water and emulsifier are mixed together the molecules combine and form an emulsion.
There are some bi-phase products available nowadays, but these liquids always need to be shaken vigorously to mix the two layers together before applying immediately. They are not emulsions and once left to stand the layers will, again, separate out."

How do you mix oil and water without an emulsifier?

“The AHA fruit acids are compatible with the ingredients per seen, but what you need to consider is the stability of the emulsion. The Stage 3 ingredients are already at 4% and whilst there is no exact number to give, going much higher than this can cause instability in emulsions. The other factor is the acidity as well, which is more likely to cause separation. It could be possible, but we have not tried it. If you wish to test it for yourself, make a small sample and do 3 freeze/thaw tests over a period of a week. If it survives that, then it’s a good sign that it will be stable.!
